Description:

Bored on his journey home from Malaya, mid-level British diplomat Sir Stafford Nye is approached in the Frankfurt airport lounge by a mysterious young woman who says her life is in danger — and asks to borrow his passport to slip safely into England. On a whim, he agrees, and finds himself pulled into a shadowy web of international intrigue. The woman appears again and again, each time under a new name and guise, drawing Nye into a dangerous game against a hidden, well-financed enemy stirring up unrest among the world's disillusioned youth. A late, unusual Christie — an espionage "extravaganza" far removed from her famous drawing-room whodunits.
